The short version
SOVREN’s Pacific Northwest Historics ran July 3–5, 2026 at Pacific Raceways in Kent (31001 144th Ave SE): the club’s main vintage road-race weekend, not HondafestNW’s Honda show-and-AutoX day at the same track. Organizer materials featured the Hoosier Tire 2.5 Challenge for historic B-Sedan / Trans-Am-inspired groups, with designer and BRE racing figure Peter Brock as special guest, plus vendor row, open paddock access, and an all-make car corral with parade laps. Spectator weekend pricing listed adults (18–64) at $35, seniors 65+ and juniors 13–17 at $20, and military / first responders free with ID. Car corral parking was a separate online SKU.

Background
PNW Historics is SOVREN’s headline Pacific Raceways date for vintage racers across the West. It shares asphalt with HondafestNW later in the summer, but the product is historic wheel-to-wheel racing rather than a Honda/Acura culture day.

Planning tips
- Buy spectator tickets at the gate or in advance online. SOVREN members attending as spectators still need to clear registration or pay gate admission.
- Car corral and parade laps are separate paid products with limited spaces. Do not assume a spectator ticket parks you trackside with the clubs.
- I-405 / SR-167 / Highway 18 traffic stacks on holiday weekends. Leave early from Seattle or Bellevue.
- Do not confuse Historics with HondafestNW (August Honda/Acura show at the same track) or Rose Cup in Portland.
- Forest setting means shade and dust. Closed-toe shoes beat festival sandals in the paddock.
- Watch sovrenracing.org / pacificraceways.com for the next Historics dates rather than assuming early July forever.
Common questions
- When was Pacific Northwest Historics 2026?
- July 3–5, 2026 at Pacific Raceways in Kent. Watch sovrenracing.org/pacific-northwest-historics/ for the next edition.
- Is this the same as HondafestNW?
- No. Same track, different weekends and products. Historics is SOVREN vintage racing. HondafestNW is a Honda/Acura show with optional AutoX later in the summer.
- Can I walk the paddock?
- Organizer materials describe a wide-open paddock for families. Follow Pacific Raceways gate and safety rules, and keep kids clear of hot pits.
